For the Good of the Realm
by Nancy Jane Moore
For the Good of the Realm is a splendid, swashbuckling romp that captures the very spirit of the Musketeers. The author weaves palace intrigue, swordplay, romance and divided loyalties into a deeply satisfying fantasy adventure with women at the center of the narrative, wielding and negotiating power.
—Tansy Rayner Roberts, author of Musketeer Space and The Creature Court Trilogy

The Silences of Ararat
by L. Timmel Duchamp
It’s an old, old story: the King loses what passes for his mind and
accuses his perfect trophy wife of adultery and prepares to have her
put to death. Temporary insanity, right? Often in such cases, there’s
collateral damage, and that’s the case in this story. But who, in a
monarchy like Ararat, can oppose the King? Enter, Paulina, stage left,
a sculptor with a hidden talent, a dea ex machina with her own ideas
about how this story should end.

Resistance and Transformation
by Mari Ness
A group of French aristocrats, trapped by their culture and gender,
wanted to speak out against the regime and the king. But they could
not, for that king was Louis XIV.
And so they turned to fairy tales. In this collection of fourteen
essays, Mari Ness explores the lives and tales of these remarkable
writers who used fairy tales to subtly critique – and in a few cases,
support – the absolutist rule of Louis XIV. They include the
scandalous Henriette Julie de Murat, imprisoned for debauchery, and
rumored to wear men's clothing; Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de la Force,
imprisoned for writing impious poetry; and Madame d'Aulnoy, who spent
years of her life in exile from her beloved country, but still
insisted on contributing to French literature. Told with wit and
humor, the essays help set beloved fairy tales into their historical
and cultural context. A must read for fairy tale lovers and anyone
interested in how words can be shaped into acts of resistance.

Raven Nothing
by Som Paris
Raven Nothing is a portal story desperately needed for our
times. Raven, the protagonist, is a “crossover” in more ways than one,
and the novel reveals how these different crossings—with gender,
space, and psychology—intersect. Urgent, poignant, and lyrical, Raven
Nothing expands the possibilities of fantasy literature.

the UK, Australia, Canada, and the United States) contribute
perspectives that both honor and challenge Le Guin’s legacy as a poet.
